Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) remains a common complication of
immunosuppression. Although multiple risk factors have been implicated, none have been
clearly identified as predisposing to the increased PTDM frequency observed in patients on
tacrolimus. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been associated with diabetes and is a significant
renal transplant comorbidity. In this study, records of 427 kidney recipients who had no
known diabetes before transplantation were retrospectively examined. A multivariate logistic …
